A pastel sunset over Lake Buhlow in central Louisiana slides into blue hour as the lights come on at a small general aviation airport on the far shore.
I hoped something would happen but the sunset was relatively uneventful.
Good thing this was a long exposure -- Otherwise the swarming bugs would've overwhelmed the image!
In the original image you can clearly see the diffraction effects of the small aperture (I was dragging the shutter to smooth the water). I even had perfect little Airy Disks 1 around some of the lights on the far shore! But after softening (and down-scaling for posting here) they’re mostly gone now.
